wait-for-cassandra

This is a quick'n'dirty utility to wait for a Cassandra instance to become available. This proves to be an issue in CI development, where jobs that are tested for Cassandra need to wait for it to become available. Well, no problem with that!

Installation

pip install wait-for-cassandra

Usage

wait-for-cassandra <optional hostname> <optional timeout>

Default hostname is localhost, and default timeout is 5 minutes (300 seconds).

If you need to specify an user and a password, call this tool like this:

wait-for-cassandra <hostname> <timeout> <login> <password>

Executing specified CQL

If you want to load a CQL file, just use:

wait-for-cassandra <hostname> -l <name_of_cql_file> ...
